Just got ramen (aka "noodle soup" on their menu) from Tanto in Scarsdale. Place is very small and cafe-casual, with a very few Japanese grocery items on the shelf and premade sushi in a refrigerated case. Pork ramen was pretty good, but nothing like what you can get in NYC, for sure. I found the crab stick and sesame seeds in the soup a little odd, but otherwise it had the standard slices of pork, seaweed, and scallions. The medium size was $8.45 ($9.45 for large) and was more than enough to fill me up and satisfy my ramen cravings. The service was very friendly and polite. I'll likely go back on a semi-regular basis, but if it were more than half an hour away, I probably wouldn't bother.

yeah the seating really sucks... i usually meet my mom there right at 12 for lunch when they open so we dont really have a problem but i always see people waiting!!Honestly, i think there fish is amazing. The man really knows how to cook fish. It is always SO juicy, never dry and it tastes amazingly fresh!! Whenever they have like a Fish bento box lunch special, theres no doubt im ordering that!Otherwise, i like there Nabeyaki Udon, Hiyayakko (cold tofu appetizer dish), Ohitashi (cold spinach app), ramen, soba... i wouldn't go there FOR sushi but there sushi fish is very fresh (if you want to go that route)I hope you enjoy!

I've been there six times in the last two weeks for lunch and have to agree that the place is good. I keep getting drawn in to the lunch special. Several times bento boxes, friday it was a unagi teishoku with tatsuta-age. There were several types of oshinko and a great home made cured cabbage with a strongly aromatic ginger to it, plus steamed sweet green beans lightly tossed in a miso sesame sauce, rice, lettuce salad in a tangy dressing, and miso soup for $9.50.

Once it was their chirashi sushi for $9 which they normally charge $20. Let's put it this way... it was well worth the $20. I still haven't tried their udon, soba, or ramen. Their apps are very good, more like what you get at an izakaya. The cured, baked cod was really tasty.

Since they don't have a liquor license and won't for several months they don't mind if you run up the street 50 yards to the Shugo Sake Shop and bring in a bottle of sake or shochu. They only problem is they only have seating for 14 at tables and five at the sushi bar, and no reservations. I haven't been able to get a dinner table on the two times I tried

Well if any of you folks are there for lunch and see a big tall white boy with glasses and short hair just say hi.

I don't think the ramen's on the actual menu but they have a sign (in Japanese... yeah i know not fair to the non-Japanese speaking customers!) that says they have started serving ramen.... so you have to ask for it!

The reason for this is that these are pretty much the same prices that a Japanese person would pay in Japan. For a normal American though it seems pretty expensive to be spending $10 on a bowl of noodle soup.
